The Cellar Bar is a private underground venue beneath Danny Doolan's on Quay Street in Auckland's Viaduct, and it is hired out for one group at a time. The venue suits birthdays, 21sts, hens nights and corporate functions. Hirers can set the lighting and music, and book a live DJ or band, or the Danny Doolan's entertainment. The venue has a full audio-visual set-up for music, speeches and presentations. Food runs from grazing tables to tailored catering packages, and the bar serves craft cocktails, curated wines and cold beers. Parking is at Downtown Carpark, across the road.
Customers who have written about it praise the bar and floor staff for being helpful and attentive through the night, the food, and the lighting, which they say makes photos look good. One customer held a 21st for about 55 people and said the event manager walked them through the plan. Another said the night ran smoothly and felt personal. The one practical tip from a customer was to book a DJ, because it makes the night.
